Prem
Katha',
'Veer'
and

is
all
set
to

For

which
has
been
released
on

trailer
features
Utkarsh
as
a
college
student
who
is
heed
over
heels
in
love
with
Ishita
Chauhan.
But
the
twist
in
the
tale
is
that

a

disguise.
Nawazuddin
Siddiqui
plays
the
role
of
the
main
antagonist.
The
film
has
huge
doses
of
typical

romance
and
patriotism.
It
also
has
oodles
of
cheesy
lines
like,
'
Mehenga
hoon,
lekin
aapke
liye
toh
muft
mein
bik
jaoon'.

Speaking
about
the
film,
Anil
Sharma
was
earlier
quoted
as
saying
to
PTI,
"I
was
scripting
only
for
him.
Utkarsh
as
a
person
is
very
sincere
at
everything
and
has
a
lot
of
potential.
I
thought
he
can
deliver." Speaking
about
his
son
making
his
debut
in
Bollywood,
he
had
further
added,
"Utkarsh
has
all
the
qualities
of
a
good
actor.
It
was
he
who
told
us
that
how
passionately
he
wants
to
pursue
films.
"When
he
was
in
the
US
and
studying
film-making
I
worked
on
the
script.
Utkarsh
thought
it's
too
early
for
him
but
then
I
said,
'We
have
to
do
it
right
now'."
